Inference
Use the example in the picture to solve this.
-
- Given the premises:
- If the steak is well done, it’s overcooked.
- If the steak is overcooked, the fire alarm will go off.
- Either the batteries have been changed or the fire alarm will not go off.
- The batteries have only been changed if the ladder is in the room.
- The ladder is not in the room.
- Given the premises:
Conclude that the steak is not well done.
- These premises don’t make sense in the real world. Why?
- How can you change the premises so that they make sense in the real world? (They don’t have to end up perfectly correct, but they need to avoid the obvious problems you uncover in part B.)

As we did before, we will assume that everyone keeps their chess rating a private secret; however, when two players have a chess match, the person with the higher rating wins 100% of the time. But this time, we are only interested in identifying the BEST of these six players and the WORST of these six players. (We don't care about the relative ordering or ranking of the middle four players.) Your goal is to devise a comparison-based algorithm that is guaranteed to identify the player with the highest rating and the player with the lowest rating. Because you are very strong at Algorithm Design, you know how to do this in the most efficient way. Here are five statements. A. There exists an algorithm to solve this problem using 6 matches, but there does not exist an algorithm using only 5 matches. B. There exists an algorithm to solve this problem using 7 matches,…arrow_forward
- Consider the experiment where a penny is flipped, a quarter is flipped, and a 6-sided die is rolled. Let d be the number of possible outcomes of this experiment. What is the value of d? (Give your answer as a single integer with no words.) Let E be the event that both the penny and the quarter come up Tails, and the die comes up an odd number. If p(E) = , where d is your answer above, what is the value of x? Enter your answer as a single integer with no words:arrow_forwardWhat do the two equations do in the image? Please explain in plain English and with Python or Java example code (or any programming language) if possible and/or provide usage examples with step-by-step explanations for the solution(s). Thanks in advance.arrow_forwardWhat flaws does the following logic have, if any? Every horse has the same coloration. The proof is provided through induction based on the number of horses. The foundation of the induction is straightforward: If there is only one horse, the coloration is definitely that animal's own. Assume there are n horses, numbered 1 to n. The induction hypothesis states that all of the horses are the same color—let's say black. Horse 2 is quite dark. According to the induction hypothesis, horses 2 through n are all the same colour. Horses 2 through n and m must all be the same colour as horse 2. As a result, all of the horses are the same colour.arrow_forward
- Example 2: here is a somewhat more elaborate example where the behavior of belief and plausibility begins to emerge. We're looking through a variety of detector systems at a single faraway signal light, which can only be coloured in one of three colours (red, yellow or green)arrow_forwardA coin is flipped ten times, and each time it lands with the same result: either heads or tails. Can there be more than four possible outcomes with just three possible tails?arrow_forwardQuestion A Locker can be opened by A and B when they are both there, as the locker has two keys, one of which is with A and other with B. C has both the keys, but he is permitted to open the locker only when B is not there. show that locker can be opened always if both A and C are there.
